Pedagogical residency: didactic processes and teacher training in a municipal elementary school

Abstract

The degree is one of the main stages of the teacher training process. During this period, it is expected that the future educator will acquire knowledge to act in the teaching-learning process in a clear, objective and motivating way. Aiming to subsidize undergraduate courses in this process, CAPES created the Pedagogical Residency Program, with the objectives of extending the time spent by students at school and strengthening the relationship between universities and primary schools. This article presents the report of didactic interventions carried out by three residents of the Biological Sciences course at the Federal University of Espírito Santo at a primary school in the city of São Mateus, ES. The school was selected by the Municipal Secretary of Education to be one of the program’s participants due to its low educational indicators. The residents worked with the tutor for 18 months and developed and developed school practices and educational activities as a way to assist the student in understanding the covered content. The activities carried out resulted in a more active and interested participation of the school's students, enabling a meaningful learning of science content. In addition, the resident graduates were able to deepen their training experiences and the tutor teacher was able to learn about new didactic procedures and incorporate them into her professional practice. In addition, the resident students were able to deepen their training experiences and the tutor teacher was able to learn about new didactic procedures, improving her professional practice.
